Many have featured in this column over the years but this is one of my favourites.

It was an orchestral hit in the 1960s for Horst Jankowski, and very catchy it was too.

Yorkshire Water has steadily improved access to the land it controls and encourages people to make the most of it via various collections of walks leaflets and descriptions on its website.

It’s terrific walking territory, whether you want to limit yourself to a gentle stroll along the edge of Coppice Pond or strike off up to Druid’s Altar and gaze up the Aire Valley from on high.

We made the mistake of not turning off the A629 Halifax-Huddersfield road at Elland and as a result nearly found ourselves on the M62 while searching in vain for a Greetland sign.

Middleton Woods above Ilkley is one of them, particularly at the height of the bluebell season when the ground between the trees is carpeted with flowers in full bloom and the air is sweet with their perfume.

This week's goes to the similar-sounding Bonsall, close to that part of the world.

The morning sun glinted on the River Wye alongside the road, and just a hint of mist hovered above the water. Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:10:00 +0100 42d34f91a58675e73422decd1bf9d7e7
